Description

The Thing: The History of a Franchise In 1982, Universal Pictures released a new horror film that would go on to become a cult classic, but was initially met with negative reviews. Today, John Carpenter's THE THING is widely regarded as one of the most influential films of all time. This book delves into the history of the entire THING franchise, exploring its origins in a 1931 novella and its evolution through various media, including radio versions, comics, novels, computer games, and music. From its early beginnings to its current status as a media phenomenon, THE THING has had a profound impact on popular culture. This book examines the marketing strategies, reviews, and censorship surrounding the franchise, as well as the reasons behind its initial box office failure. Through interviews with those involved, the book sheds new light on the history of this iconic franchise. With a focus on the behind-the-scenes stories and events that shaped THE THING into the beloved franchise it is today, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of horror and science fiction.
